the reference to the device is dropped (to allow it to be released
when packets are in the queue).
Because skb->dev was NULL, the netdev_rx_csum_fault was panicing on
deref of dev->name. How about this?

Some debug code wasn't properly removed from the initial 64k pages
patch, and while it's harmless, it's also slowing down significantly a
very hot code path, thus it should really be removed.

The 64k pages patch changed the meaning of one argument passed to the
low level hash functions (from "large" it became "psize" or page size
index), but one of the call sites wasn't properly updated, causing
potential random weird problems with huge pages. This fixes it.

[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: boot failures on numa if no memory on node
This bug exists in the current code and prevents machines from booting
with numa enabled if there is a node that does not contain memory.
Workaround is to boot with 'numa=off'. Looks like a simple typo.

[IA64-SGI] Fix SN PTC deadlock recovery
The patch that added support for a new platform chipset (shub2) broke
PTC deadlock recovery on older versions of the chipset. (PTCs are the
SN platform-specific method for doing a global TLB purge). This
patch fixes deadlock recovery so that it works on both the old & new
chipsets.

[IA64] Change SET_PERSONALITY to comply with comment in binfmt_elf.c.
We have a customer application which trips a bug. The problem arises
when a driver attempts to call do_munmap on an area which is mapped, but
because current->thread.task_size has been set to 0xC0000000, the call
to do_munmap fails thinking it is an unmap beyond the user's address
space.
The comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c in load_elf_library() before the call
to SET_PERSONALITY() indicates that task_size must not be changed for
the running application until flush_thread, but is for ia64 executing
ia32 binaries.
This patch moves the setting of task_size from SET_PERSONALITY() to
flush_thread() as indicated. The customer application no longer is able
to trip the bug.

[IA64] Limit the maximum NODEDATA_ALIGN() offset
The per-node data structures are allocated with strided offsets that are a
function of the node number. This prevents excessive cache-aliasing from
occurring.
On systems with a large number of nodes, the strided offset becomes
too large. This patch restricts the maximum offset to 32MB. This is far larger
than the size of any current L3 cache.

[PATCH] libata: err_mask misc fix
1. ata_pio_complete():
It seems unnecessary to wait for the clearing of the DRQ bit.
(Waiting for BSY=0 should be enough.
ata_ok() also checks the correctness of the status bits later.)
2. ata_pio_block():
- added error checking, before transfering data.
- minor comments fix
